Finally hit 100 hours of cable management work this month

I've been helping friends and family clean up their messy desk setups and yesterday I added up all the time I spent just this month. 100 hours of untangling, routing, and zip tying cables for other people. Never thought I'd hit that number but honestly it feels good to see so many clean workspaces now. Anyone else ever track how much time they spend fixing other people's setups?

Wait til you hit that point where you realize how much time you actually dump into this stuff? I used to think people who tracked hours on cable management were being extra, but now I get it after seeing the results pile up. It's crazy how satisfying it is once you step back and look at a clean setup from all that work.

Wish I had started tracking my time from the beginning @milap35. I had no idea I spent like 6 hours just on cable routing alone for my desk setup. Did you use a timer app or just rough estimate?
